The Wheatsheaf
This public house stands at the busy junction south of Maidstone where the A229 Loose Road branches right towards Hastings and the A274 Sutton Road branches left towards Headcorn and Tenterden. Traffic lights replaced a small roundabout in the 1990s to improve traffic flow and many would say the traffic delays are worse!

The Wheatsheaf, Loose Road, Maidstone ? 1967
Taken on the last day of trolleybus operation in Maidstone. The location is the junction between the two trolleybus routes to Park Wood (where the trolleybus is coming from) and Loose (to the right). The trolleybus is no.89, one of four purchased from the Hastings system when this closed in 1959. It is a Sunbeam W with Weymann bodywork, new in 1947.
This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s.

British Trolleybuses - Maidstone
Maidstone was the smallest trolleybus system to last into the 60s. There was a single basic route from Barming in the west to Sutton Road in the South.
This is a view at the Wheatsheaf junction on Sutton Road. The trolleybus is on its way to the Parkwood housing estate for which an extension to the route was built in the late 50s.
Today the road layout is slightly altered - the roundabout has gone - but otherwise everything is much the same still.
